Welcome to USMMA

Bellingham’s home for adult and kids martial arts + Yoga

Come as you are. Leave transformed.

With over 25 years of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai & Boxing under his (black) belt, Tom Hafers wanted to elevate the MMA experience that has guided his life journey. Soon enough, Tom along with his wife Danielle fell in love with hot yoga and the balance it brought to their lifestyles. They were determined to share the fire both yoga and MMA ignited in them with their community. Thus, USMMA was born.

A manifestation of two ancient arts, USMMA stands as a dynamic training studio for lovers and fighters alike. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi, fighter, or brand new to the studio scene, USMMA serves as a space for ALL.

Our offerings focus on strength and mindfulness, ensuring that every movement is rooted in intention. We aim to train the body while quieting the mind, helping you cultivate both peace and purpose in every aspect of your life.
